Rh

man know longing for a thing
 * That is not—hath not been?

Dare we distrust desires that spring
 * Spontaneous within?

Tongue argueth speech; and power, deed—
 * Each is by each implied;

Can there be universal need
 * Unmet, unsatisfied?

The heart attuned to love doth find
 * Love waiting at the door,

He who to knowledge turns his mind
 * Finds knowledge there before,

And shall the deepest want we know,
 * The spirit's anguished cry

For kinship through the darkness, go
 * Unanswered from on high?
